The Link Between Chiropractic and Better Sleep

If you’ve ever tossed and turned because of back or neck pain, you know how important spinal comfort is for a good night’s rest. But did you know that spinal alignment also affects the way your nervous system regulates sleep?

How Alignment Influences Sleep

Misalignments can create muscle tension, restrict movement, and interfere with nerve signals that help you relax. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments can reduce physical discomfort, ease stress on the nervous system, and help your body enter deeper, more restorative sleep cycles.

Ways Chiropractic Can Improve Sleep:

• Relieves Muscle Tension: Less stiffness means fewer night-time position changes.

• Improves Nervous System Function: Proper spinal alignment supports better communication between the brain and body.

• Reduces Pain & Discomfort: Fewer aches make it easier to fall — and stay — asleep.

  
  

Other Sleep-Supporting Tips:

• Maintain a consistent sleep schedule.

• Use a pillow that supports your neck’s natural curve.

• Avoid screens 30–60 minutes before bedtime.
